Blackberry Gully side view



Blackberry Gully down hill


Hi All,
Just a short one today. Today started with a chuckle. The ducks had all wandered up into the carpark as they do when the morning feed is a bit late. I lead them back with a bowl of scraps to the dam. Today the chickens were at the top of the driveway so i had to sneak around between the laundry and unit 6 the back way. With the gang of 6 waddling behind. Anyway the chickens who are not overly bright didn't notice us. I left the ducks picking over the kitchen scraps and walked past the chickens who followed me back to their enclosure. It must look a funny sight.
After the barnyard capers we settled down to finishing off the blackberry gully beside the driveway. The result looked impressive especially to Ilan who said it had always been a mess. However once the warmer weather arrives the blackberry rhizomes buried beneath the surface will spring into action. Hopefully there will be a crew ready to pull them out or spray them otherwise the effort will be wasted.
As the cafe launch draws nearer we are trying to use up food. Consequently we had a formal type lunch of leftovers today. Ate far too much and was most uncomfortable this afternoon. Tea was community dinner so no respite for the digestion. Susan and I then skipped over to the barn and watched Doctor Who and thence to bed.

Night Folks

Cheers Simon
